I wasn�t going to comment because I�m indifferent to Planned Parenthood.

That said, you guys don�t know what you�re talking about. Eugenics was an American idea borrowed by the Nazis.

The roots of eugenics are in Michigan. Dr. Kellogg (the cereal guy) funded early eugenics research. Michigan was the first state to have involuntary sterilization. The state universities taught it as curriculum and there�s statues and buildings named after prominent eugenicists all of the state.

If you�re going to condemn Sanger you need to condemn just about every intellectual of that age. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Alexander Graham Bell -all eugenicists. Many black intellectuals were eugenicists. W.E.B Du Bois was friends with Sanger. She was a racist by today's standards but not by the standards of her time.

Margaret Sanger never advocated abortion. Her eugenics approach was birth control and sterilization. I�m not trying to defend her but she didn�t condone abortion and Planned Parenthood didn�t get into the abortion business until after she had died. Not that I care either way...
